It is unlawful for any manufacturer or wholesale drug distributor, or any agent thereof, to offer or give any gift of value to a practitioner. A medical device manufacturer that distributes drugs as an incidental part of its device business shall not be considered a manufacturer, a wholesale drug distributor, or agent under this section. As used in this section, "gift" does not include: (1) professional samples of a drug provided to a prescriber for free distribution to patients; (2) items with a total combined retail value, in any calendar year, of not more than $50; (3) a payment to the sponsor of a medical conference, professional meeting, or other educational program, provided the payment is not made directly to a practitioner and is used solely for bona fide educational purposes; (4) reasonable honoraria and payment of the reasonable expenses of a practitioner who serves on the faculty at a professional or educational conference or meeting; (5) compensation for the substantial professional or consulting services of a practitioner in connection with a genuine research project; (6) publications and educational materials; or (7) salaries or other benefits paid to employees.
